Rules for auto bollard repairs in England
Bollards on adopted highway are a matter for the highway authority under the Highways Act 1980, so they need its written agreement. On private land the owner's agreement is what matters; listed buildings and conservation areas need a word with the planning team first. Rising bollards should fail safe, never rise beneath a vehicle, carry clear signs and give the emergency services an override.

How installation works
Describe the fault
Tell us what the bollard is doing, any lights or messages on the controller, recent weather or roadworks, and send photographs of the bollard, pit and controller.
Agree the visit price
We confirm the cost of the diagnostic and repair visit in writing. Nothing is done until you have agreed it.
Diagnose the cause
Fault logs, loops, drive, electrics and pit are checked in turn to find the underlying cause rather than just the symptom.
Quote and repair
Simple faults within the visit are fixed on the day. Where parts or further work are needed, we quote them in writing and complete the repair once approved.

How is an automatic bollard repair priced?
The visit is priced in writing before we attend. If parts or further work are needed beyond what can be done on the visit, they are quoted separately in writing before we carry them out.
Why does our bollard rise and fall by itself?
Usually because a loop or its detector is faulty, or an access device is sending repeated signals. Damaged road surfaces and water in loop cuts are common causes. Diagnosis checks the loops first.
